Lincoln police say homicide victim died of blows to head

lincoln-policeLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Police say a man whose body was found in a Lincoln mobile home died of blows to the head.

Police on Saturday identified the victim as 35-year-old Robert Leazer. An autopsy completed Friday shows he died of blunt force trauma to the head.

Police were called to the Contempo Lincoln Mobile Home Park about noon Thursday to check on reports that Trenton Reiner was breaking the windows of his car.

When officers arrived, they received consent from Reiner to enter the home, where they found Leazer’s body.

Officers charged Reiner with first-degree murder. His arraignment is set for Tuesday.

The death was Lincoln’s seventh suspected homicide of the year.
